Yes, it was a joke
This strikes me as solving an artificially produced problem. What benefit does this have other than confusing dyslexic programmers (like myself)?
I can only hope this is a (shockingly poor) attempt at satire.
The post might make more sense if you consider on most architectures integers are stored as two’s complement and ~ is the binary negation operator.

I don’t think it is shockingly poor. It’s pretty good. I found the explanation very interesting.
The comments are even better than the article, and I am quite disappointed in myself for not finding out about the “Approaches from above” operator sooner.
It would have been great if Rayray had gotten __ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_TADPOLE_OPERATORS added to the MSDN documentation before the article was posted :)
